I do know this; Some of the speakers there have been speakers at one of the REIA's in VA and about 80% of the REIA meetings I have been to of theirs is pretty sales-ey and the President of the REIA sends out emails almost every day with the basic agenda of "you NEED a mentor, join my coaching program!!"

@Tim Davids I was in Valpo earlier this week to meet my insurance agent, but I am in Lake County pretty much every day looking at houses.
